Value Collection .50X02.75X72 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .50X02.75X72 is a cold finished 1018 steel flat bar measuring 0.5 inches thick, 2.75 inches wide, and 72 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, improved surface finish, and higher strength compared to hot rolled stock. Grade 1018 is a low-carbon steel known for its good machinability, weldability, and consistent mechanical properties. This bar ships at 28.21 pounds and is suited for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and job sites where a reliable general-purpose flat stock is required. Machinists, fabricators, and ironworkers are the typical end users.

This flat bar is a standard general-purpose stock shape used across a wide range of industrial and commercial fabrication applications. Common uses include brackets, frames, base plates, supports, spacers, and structural reinforcements. The 72-inch length provides a full 6-foot section that can be cut to length on site. Cold finished surface condition makes it ready for close-tolerance machining, welding, or surface treatment without additional dressing in most applications.
